Visited for the first time with my girlfriend and our friends and I really enjoyed it. The sushi is very good and enjoyed the Chinese as well.

Kurai is a great place to have lunch, the variety of rolls is incredible, and the main dishes are plain delicious. Cons: plates are way to small

I just had the worst experience. There was vomit in the hall that leads to the bathroom. There was not a yellow sign pointing that it was slippery. My 3 year old slip with the vomit and was hurt. She had vomit all over her...body. It was disgusting. Bathrooms are alway very dirty. I do not recommend this placeMore

The buffet was fresh as always, since they made the dishes in small batches. Very good flavor on the chinese dishes with healthy options like vegetables tempura and jalapeños filled with cream cheese and tempura fried. The sushi buffet is big and expense, with a...lot of options from the traditional tampico and california, to sushis made out of tempura shrimp, and even sweet sushis of mango and strawberry Good service, and good ambience also. Not to expensive at $13 dlls. each plus $2.5 soda.More

We ate here just after it opened but the food was good and we enjoyed ourselves. The wait staff was new and somewhat unfamiliar but we could overlook the problems.

We are from Seattle and have been missing sushi. Every type had cream cheese in it. The Chinese buffet had some bright spots but over all it was just ok.

Nice variety of choices, but no options for lite appetites who would prefer a lite menu. Everyone pays $9.99. The line started at the entrance to the kitchen, and clean plates were in the order service window near unwashed dishes. Dodging waiters was unavoidable at...that spot. The serving dishes were unidentified so you didn't know if it was spicy or sweet until you bit into it. Many of the choices were low or had no meat left in them. The dessert was at the start and sushi at the far end. It was a very confusing. The person who brought our drinks was attentive and gave good service. We won't go back to this place.More

Love that it's a sushi buffet, and they have a lot of variety. Good interior appeal. Staff is always friendly and attentive. It's kind of a hassle to find parking space since it is in a small plaza but the food makes up for it....It is very convenient for those who are on the go because of the drive thru.More

Ever since the first time I set foot in Kurai, four years ago, I have been a fan. It is the best Chinese/Asian food I have ever had. The variety and selection are unsurpassed.

I love that they have sushi galore to choose from. It is a sushi buffet but they also have the normal Chinese food like Kung pow chicken, orange chicken, fried rice, and lo mein. They also have ice cream ( Neapolitan) for dessert. You just...ask your waiter for it. The waiter is very attentive.More

Good restaurant with the largest selection of a sushi buffet that I have seen in the Valley. While the offerings of Chinese/Cantonese are not as many, the food is flavorful. They keep small portions so it seems the food is always fresh. I am glad...to see that they brought their prices down during the lunch time.More

First time here and clearly a great choice! Great food kept warm by replenishing smaller quantities than other buffet places. Service was excellent, extremely polite staff. Loved their teriyaki and Kung pao chicken and try their tempura fried green beans with a spicy mayo. Awesome...taste! Big selection of sushi rolls, also!More
